Back in the 1990s, Bill Wyman did the unthinkable and left The Rolling Stones the consensus greatest rock n roll band of all time and went on to form a group of his own that equaled his previous band in terms of chops, while actually surpassing the Stones in sheer versatility. What s more, he managed to keep Bill Wyman s Rhythm Kings going strong for a decade and a half and counting, with an ever-shifting lineup of fellow all-star players coming together from all points on the stylistic map and locking together with the precision of a Swiss watch albeit with a lot more soul. This five-disc box set, which gathers four studio albums Bill Wyman s Rhythm Kings cranked out between their 1998 debut, Struttin Our Stuff and 2001"s Double Bill, is a revelation, particularly for those who have yet to discover the rich body of work of Wyman s low-profile/high-revving band. Scattered here and there through these 66 tracks are the likes of Eric Clapton, Procol Harum s Gary Brooker, fellow former Stone Mick Taylor, Mark Knopfler, Peter Frampton, Paul Carrack, Chris Rea, acclaimed jazz guitarist Martin Taylor, master percussionist Ray Cooper and, in some of their final recordings, George Harrison and Nicky Hopkins.
